fix(desktop): refresh composer branch after worktree creation (#69657)

* fix(desktop): refresh composer branch after worktree creation

Route new worktree sessions through the shared workspace target handoff so
composer git status follows the created worktree instead of remaining on the
main checkout. Add an Electron E2E regression test for Ctrl+Shift+B.

* fix(desktop): fixme flaky test
